Description
Jack Daniels Single Barrel Barrel Proof Rye was first released as a limited editionin 2020. The company recently announcedthat this would become a permanent line extension for the brand, and it is also available as a single barrel selection on an allocated basis. Single Barrel Barrel Proof Rye follows previous Jack Daniels rye releases that included Unaged Rye in 2012, Rested Rye in 2014, Single Barrel Ryein 2016, and Tennessee Rye in 2017.
Like any single barrel, barrel proof release, proofs vary by barrel. And in usual Jack Daniels style, the proof points are generally high. Clocking in at over 137 proof, this barrels proof is evident throughout with heat upfront, persistent heat through the palate, and heat that tapers towards heavy spice in the finish. Raisin and burnt oak add depth to the nose, with butterscotch and caramel weaving into the palate. At the finish, enjoyable amounts of leather and cigar box flavors join in.
